I can think of one: food.

That's pretty much all I can come up with.

/s I hope?

  • eating meat -> vegetarianism/carnivorism -> environmentalism/global climate change/ethical treatment of animals/ethical treatment of humans -> politics
  • additives/plastics in food -> government regulation of ingredients/maximum allowed pollution levels/rules limiting plastic packaging -> small/big government/regulation vs. personal freedom -> politics
  • ethnic food -> immigration/integration/multiculturalism/isolationism/white cultural genocide -> politics

I don't know why there should be a divide on beliefs about climate change between Republican/Democrat political parties, but given that there certainly currently is, climate change and everything related is now political speech.
